8th Annual Shared Services & Outsourcing for HR Presents: HR Service Delivery

For the last 7 years Shared Services & Outsourcing for HR has been the flagship event for HR professionals engaged in setting up and managing HR service delivery in Asia Pacific. For more detailed information about our past event you can download the post show report here .

With extensive market research and industry partnerships, we are building annual conferences on HR service delivery issues which matter to YOU and provide insights to case studies and benchmarking against the best in class. Expert speakers from Asia Pacific and beyond share their experience when it comes to issues related to and around HR service delivery:

• Delivering efficient and effective HR services
• Set-up and governance of HR processes and service
• Business partnering and value add through HR
• Talent management and succession planning
• Change management
• HR and outsourcing
• Talent attraction and retention
• Overcoming challenges of multi language support and achieving regional standardization

For HR transformation initiatives to be successful, it is important to find a new model for delivering HR services. In these tumultuous and uncertain economic times, HR leadership is challenged with streamlining and reducing the cost of delivering HR services while, at the same time, creating a loyal, engaged workforce - and freeing HR units to perform at a more strategic level closer to the organization`s business needs.

HR Service Delivery 2010 looks how leading employers, through the strategic use of technology solutions, have created service delivery platforms where new hires are effectively onboarded; employees and managers can get their own answers to HR inquiries 70-80% of the time; HR shared services operations can manage the highest number of calls with the fewest number of representatives, and HR talent is freed to provide value-added work to their organisation.

Future Capabilities and Requirements of Asian Air Power Doctrine for the 21st Century

Changing demands on regional Air Forces has meant that the modernisation of their fleets must focus on the entire air power spectrum. Whilst strike and fighter capabilities are key to the futures of many regional Air Forces, other assets such as manned ISR platforms and strategic air lift capabilities play an important role in maintaining an influential and active Air Force.

With Asia in a transformational period there are many questions that need to be addressed for all regional players, as well as for those international players who have significant interests in the region.

Global transport of temperature-sensitive drugs and clinical materials presents a tremendous challenge for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. With the overwhelming complexity of assuring product integrity throughout the entire distribution chain, the increased scrutiny placed on in-transit temperature control and monitoring and huge costs that can be potentially incurred due to temperature excursions, it is more important than ever to get cold chain management right the first time.

Pharma IQ’s 3rd Annual Pharmaceutical Cold Chain Management Asia is the only event of its kind in the region and will look at Asia-specific cold chain management issues.

The 3rd Annual Pharmaceutical Cold Chain Management Asia provides the largest and most comprehensive forum for Asian pharmaceutical and biotechnology professionals involved in the temperature-controlled supply chain. Attendees will be able to network with and learn from other organizations who face similar challenges in monitoring, controlling, and maintaining the temperature of products throughout the supply chain – from manufacturing to warehousing, wholesalers, pharmacies, hospitals, and ultimately to the end user.

The 3rd Annual Pharmaceutical Cold Chain Management Asia will feature revolutionary content designed to advance temperature-sensitive supply chain practices through technical case studies and panel discussions.

Two of the most important processes of change in Southeast Asia are industrialisation and urbanisation. Singapore, Manila, Bangkok and Jakarta - all with major ports and coastal development are now ‘mega-cities’ by world standards.

The increasing scarcity of land, increased trading and waterfront activity have led to a number of coastal engineering and management projects in Asia, including expansion of existing ports by government bodies and private companies. On top of this there is an increase in the construction of new jetties, shipyards, marinas and terminals. Examples from across the region include:

Globally, at least 130 gas fields are left stranded, waiting to be monetized. This amounts to at least USD$ 273 billion of potential revenue that is left out in the cold.

Today, we have already seen leaders like Shell, who have taken the first step to leverage on FLNG to monetize their Prelude field in the Browse Basin off Western Australia, and in Nigeria.

Santos has also joined the bandwagon with its joint venture deal with GDF Suez to build an FLNG platform in the Bonaparte Basin capable of producing 2 million tonnes per annum of LNG.
